"Dear Lisa, We just wanted to thank you for all your help. We rescued a dog from Thailand in October 2013 from the dog meat trade; it was my requested birthday present. We named him Frankee and he's about 4 years old. He's so lovable to me and my husband but had some issues with other people, which is quite understandable. We contacted Lisa at the beginning of 2014 and I must sing her praises as she has taught us so much and the progress is fantastic. He was so frightened and scared, as you can imagine, but he is coming on leaps and bounds, and it's all thanks to you Lisa. When we have our 1-1 we feel so much more confident and we carry out the tasks to make his life better. Thank you so much for all your help and I know that you are only a phone call or email away if needed."

"Thank you for the help and advice you gave for Eddie. He has settled down loads and is much better to walk, especially with using the double end lead. We recently had a short break which set some of Eddies anxieties off again, but with the knowledge you gave me, we were soon able to get him back on track. Thank you so much."

"My almost 6 month old Dalmatian bitch Beaver and I have just completed your 6 week long puppy course, and I wanted to thank you for all the training tuition and tips you gave me. Beaver has improved hugely, thanks to your classes, and despite the class being almost full, you still managed plenty of one to one tuition – not only with me, but with all the others on the course, too. We both thoroughly enjoyed the course and meeting you – and all the other puppies and owners – and intend to do some more advanced training with you in the near future. Highly recommended! Best wishes, and thanks again, Dianne and Beaver Lucas, November 2013."

''I first got in contact with Lisa for my first dog Katie, who I had taken on as an 11 year old. After the “settling in” period, I needed some guidance as Katie was desperately trying to push and test the boundaries. With Lisa’s patience and knowledge I was able to teach Katie some “thinking” games to get her brain working and in fact Katie learnt to sit on command at the age of 11.

After I lost Katie last year (when she was nearly 15), I took on a Jack Russell from a re-homing centre. Josie had been picked up by a dog warden, so there was little history, however she had clearly had multiple litters and had been physically harmed. She was not house-trained, however she picked that up soon and settled extremely quickly. However, one day she suddenly seemed to regress, withdrawing into herself and taking herself off to keep her own company. Lisa helped me to build up Josie’s confidence so that she is able to deal with any new situations that she comes across. Josie’s character has really developed and she can be quite a pickle at times!

Lisa is very happy to work around a particular dog’s (and owner’s!) needs. Her use of t-touch has had an amazing effect with Josie and her advice has built my confidence as a dog owner.''

"I have now had 2 dogs and have used Lisa to help with both their training. The first one was such an affectionate dog but so badly behaved, jumping all over the furniture and guests was his favourite and just totally disobedient. By the time we had been through the training with Lisa he turned out to be the most amazing dog. We now have a rescue dog who is now getting trained with Lisa, there really is nothing this lady can't do - I have to say she is absolutely amazing. One day into training with the new dog and she has already started to settle down - I am thrilled with the results. I would highly recommend Lisa to anybody who needs help settling their dog into their home whether this a new puppy or a rescue dog."
